We are looking for someone who is motivated to start a career in engineering and keen to learn within a manufacturing and production environment. Our Apprenticeship opportunities combine studying for a professional qualification with gaining work experience at our site in Weymouth. You become part of the team when your professional career begins, from Day 1.
This is a Level 4 Manufacturing Engineering Technician apprenticeship designed for individuals who have completed college, A‑levels, or an equivalent Level 3 qualification and are ready to move into a technical, hands‑on engineering role.
Manufacturing Engineering Technicians play a key role in how products are built, focusing on process definition, documentation, efficiency, quality, and continuous improvement. This is not a design engineering role and not a general operative role; it sits between production and engineering and involves working across the full manufacturing lifecycle. This role requires an interest in practical engineering, manufacturing processes, and continuous improvement. It is not suitable for candidates looking for a purely academic route, a product design or Research and Development focused role or an entry-level role straight from GCSEs.
In this role, you will work closely with experienced Manufacturing Engineers and Production teams to support how ASMPT products are manufactured safely, efficiently, and to the required quality standards.
You will be involved in a wide range of technical activities, including:
During your apprenticeship, you will be visited by the training provider at least once a month for a full day of training. In some months, you may receive two visits to support the development of your knowledge, skills and behaviours.
All training is delivered at on site at ASMPT, meaning you will not need to leave the workplace to attend college. This workplace-based approach allows the trainer to tailor learning directly to your role, using familiar language and real working examples so you can easily relate the learning to your day-to-day tasks. This is a popular and effective way of learning, as training is personalised to your workplace and delivered in small groups or one-to-one.
The training provider operates all year round and does not break for half term, helping you make consistent progress and potentially complete your apprenticeship on time or even earlier than planned. The typical duration of the Level 4 Manufacturing Engineering Technician Apprenticeship is around 42 months. https://skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships/st0841-v1-4
You will also be set up on an online portfolio, where you can view assigned tasks, track your progress, and see what needs to be completed before your next session. If you need any help between visits, you can contact your tutor for additional support at any time.
We are looking for someone who:
Our culture is unique. Unlike many of our more corporate competitors, we strive to maintain a people-first, family-like culture that people appreciate and enjoy. It’s conducive to collaboration, to encouraging feedback and enabling innovation. It’s an exciting place to be. Ideas evolve in front of your eyes and we are constantly pivoting and adapting to meet the needs of tomorrow’s technologies. The possibilities here are limitless, the opportunities are huge, and our culture is warm and friendly.
Few organisations can rival our complete package of exciting, leading-edge work in an exceptional location that offers a fantastic quality of life.
